Chapter 1265: I’m Here To Bring You With Me
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The 400 thugs in suits came from nowhere, and overwhelmed the elves with their might. This ruined Helena’s plan.
The most important thing was that Helena still had no idea where they came from. She would definitely have heard of them if they were from the Norland Continent.
Could they be Alex’s army? A dangerous thought surfaced in her mind. Alex had gone missing for three years, and no one knew where he went or whom he met.
It did not seem impossible to build such a large force within three years.
What she could be certain of now was that they were here for Irina. They wanted to bring the Night Elves with them.
Helena was overwhelmed with uneasiness. Although she still had nine great magic casters, hundreds of 8th and 9th-tier powerhouses, and more than 20,000 elite troops, if the other party were to pit their all against them, the Elf Tribe would suffer heavy losses even if they were to win.
The elves had already lost their queen and Borg, while Irina was clearly a rebel. If they were to suffer another heavy loss from today’s battle, the elves might not be able to fend for themselves should the goblins at the border decide to attack the Wind Forest.
Besides, the peace talks would begin soon. The elves would lose their bargaining power if their strength were to fall greatly. That was completely unacceptable to Helena.
Helena looked at Irina, who was at the mountain peak in the distance. She was unwilling to let her go because that would spell future troubles. However, it did not seem like she would have the chance to get rid of her today. Right now, she had to prioritize the elves’ interest.
This is? Sally looked at the thugs in suits curiously. The way they dressed was very similar to Mag’s style, and he was the only one who would be able to come up with such an odd yet impressive look. However, she had never seen these customers in Mamy Restaurant.
In spite of that, she was still relieved to see all these people defending the mountain peak. It seemed like today’s battle would be ending soon.
“Wow, I didn’t think Boss Mag would still have this up his sleeve. How surprising.” Kra.s.su was also quite shocked to see the thugs in suits, but when he saw Yabemiya and Elizabeth, he knew whom they belonged to. Now, he would not need to do anything anymore, so he went back to the red dragon’s back.
Urien also kept his staff. They had already achieved their goal in coming here. There wouldn’t be a need for them from now on.
Mag got the purple-striped griffin to fly higher. He had already used up all 15 minutes. He was suddenly a.s.sailed by a sense of exhaustion. Luckily, he had his mask on, and was sitting on the griffin, so it was not obvious.
He was very pleased with the appearance of the 400 thugs in suits from Lantisde. The visual effect of them arriving on waves was also very impactful, and they successfully used it to their favor to turn the situation around.
Mag wanted to kill Helena, but he was not strong enough. 15 minutes was really too short.
Meanwhile, Urien and Kra.s.su were obviously here to save Irina, so it wouldn’t be realistic to get them to combine their powers to kill Helena.
As for the brave soldiers of Lantisde, Mag had promised that he would not force them to do anything dangerous. If they were to pit themselves against the Wind Forest, both sides would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Besides, the Lantisde warriors might be very powerful in the sea, but once they were on land, without sufficient water, their strength would decrease as time went by.
Mag rode on the purple-striped griffin and looked down at Helena and the other elves as he said, “Helena, this is the last chance for you to retreat. If you don’t wish to go, I believe the goblins will clear up the mess, and while they are at it, they can also take the Wind Forest down.”
The expressions on the elves’ faces changed. They’d almost forgotten that there were still goblins on the border several kilometers away.
“High Priestess, we have suffered very heavy losses today. For the sake of the Wind Forest’s future, let’s just retreat for today,” said a magic caster with eyes filled with horror.
Helena’s expression turned cold. She gazed deeply at Irina, and announced, “I will remember this. One day, I will pay it back 10 folds!
“Retreat!” Helena commanded. The elves started retreating, but without the confidence from when they first started. They threw their armor aside and started fleeing northwards in fear.
Sally looked towards the mountain peak. At the same time, s.h.i.+rley looked over. Their eyes met. Sally nodded slightly before turning to retreat with Helena.
The tens of thousands of troops retreated in a flash, leaving only corpses, frozen statues, and the aftermath of the battle.
“We’ve won!”
The hundreds of remaining Night Elves on the mountain peak cheered at the top of their lungs. Although they were exhausted from giving their all for the battle, they were still very excited.
Although they had received help from outside, they still claimed victory, and that was significant in the Night Elves’ rebellion history.
“We won.” Irina smiled. However, when she saw the dead and frozen elves, she still felt a little upset. In war, the ones sacrificed were always the soldiers at the lowest level, while the oppressors would still be living well.
Mag heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the elves disappear into the distance. If Helena had carried on with the battle without any care, he would not have known how many of them would be able to leave this place alive. This outcome had exceeded his expectations, and that made him very satisfied.
Ah Zi turned around and flew towards the mountain peak.
Two of the great magic casters from Lantisde blocked his way nervously.
“Gina, he’s one of us,” Elizabeth called out to Gina. She looked at Alex with complicated feelings. She did not expect to see him again here, but some questions were destined to remain unasked because the female lead for today was Irina.
Gina quickly got the two magic casters to step aside, and looked curiously at the strange man sitting on the strange ride.
“Is that Alex? Wow, he looks so cool with the mask on! Also, his ride looks awesome! It’s purple and it has awesome-looking stripes!” Yabemiya had turned into a fangirl as her eyes lit up with idolization.
Mag reached the peak of the mountain and reached his hand out towards Irina as he said, “Come with me.”
Irina looked at Mag and smiled. However, she did not take his hand. She shook her head gently, and said, “They need me. I can’t leave yet.”
Mag looked at the elderly Night Elves. Almost everyone had injuries. He was reminded of how they fended their enemies off time and again even though they were 10 times their number. He nodded, and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Mag patted Ah Zi’s back gently. The purple-striped griffin flapped its wings and flew towards the west.
